First Look: Liberty Steel Plate and Range Ammo
Liberty Ammunition has just rolled out a new line of frangible centerfire cartridges meant for the safer shooting of steel plates and as a safer training alternative to traditional ammunition. This ammunition is intended for use in indoor firing ranges or indoor training facilities, as frangible ammunition will not ricochet off hard surfaces.
Liberty Ammunition’s new “Steel Plate and Range” line is currently offering both .223 Rem. and 9mm centerfire cartridges. These loads are modeled after Liberty Ammunition’s Overwatch product line in recoil characteristics, however, Steel and Plate Range loads are designed with lower muzzle velocities as a safety feature.
Frangible ammunition generally consists of cartridges loaded with frangible bullets whose main intention is to reduce penetration, ricochet and impacts in hard surfaces. Frangible bullets are typically manufactured by forming and molding (or sometimes binding) a mixture of powdered metals into the exact shape of the bullet. Compared to traditional cup-and-core, lead-alloy and copper-jacketed bullets which are relatively soft and malleable, frangible projectiles are brittle, so that they disintegrate back into powder upon impact in order to minimize the aforementioned safety hazards above.
